Anyone who has every photographed a concert has a favorite performer – someone you can just point your camera at, push the button, and they seem to make your photos come alive.

That was my experience on the rare occasions when I was at the Whisky A Go Go on nights that Isis Queen was performing.

This is from a Barb Wire Dolls concert on Aug. 24, 2015.
